A collage set against a faint graph paper background with musical notes, combining various elements in a dreamlike composition. At the top left is a green, spiral-stemmed plant. A toothbrush is positioned prominently in the center. To the right, a pink, star-shaped flower. At the bottom, an oyster shell made out of sheet metal holds a tiny water drop, and a coral-like spiral on the left. Near the bottom edge, the word “HAPPY” appears in faded metallic letters alongside a star.
